However, a clash with Adil Rami, the defender, left Mbappe on the floor and forced him to limp out of the training match.

Mbappe was set to start the tournament in France’s starting XI, alongsideAntoine Griezmann and Olivier Giroud in a 4-4-3 system. The teenage starlet could also play in Deschamps’ favoured 4-4-2 formation, either alongside Giroud in attack or in the wide positions.

France are regarded as one of the favourites for this summer’s tournament, and they get their campaign underway on Saturday against Australia, before playing Peru and Denmark in the remaining Group C fixtures.
